Scheduling is a technique by which tasks are given access or are otherwise allocated to certain system computing resources under various conditions. For example, a cloud computing service provider may schedule customer task/processes between different physical servers connected to their system. Typically, because the number and size of these tasks can be dynamic and unpredictable, a requirement for most systems is that they must be able to allocate these tasks across varying system computing resources. However, in most situations, there is a hard limit on an amount of load that a particular computing resource can be allocated to carry. In these situations, if there is an over commit of tasks to an overtaxed computing resource, it may result in a failure of the tasks and/or an unacceptable degradation in the performance of the system.
